Ok never mind the vbadvanced issues for the time being but i can confirm that the special characters bug is still appearing in 2.6.1. A forum I work on had 2.5.9 installed and was receiving the special recharter error. I upgraded them to 2.6.1 and this did not fix the problem. The MySQL error remains the same.
PHP Code:
mySQL query error: UPDATE tournaments SET champion='casey's_angel27' WHERE tid='13' LIMIT 1
mySQL error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's_angel27' WHERE tid='13' LIMIT 1' at line 1
mySQL error code:

EDIT: Hmm i wonder if vbadvanced is conflicting. On both set ups the portal is in the public_html and and the forums are in public_html/forums. My arcade was working fine until after the vbadvanced install. I did not notice the bug straight after vbadvanced install but vBadvanced and vBookie are the only hacks both sites have in common.
I seem to have found a fix on one forum but not the other. I installed vBPlaza and the IPBArcade add on for vbPlaza and it fixed it on one site. However on the other site the IPB Add on for the Plaza is already installed.
